Oh, they're definitely butthurt over the Trump impression and whatever other liberal shenanigans Alec gets up to.
And I'd agree with you about the movie thing, if it was a prop gun. But from what I understand there were real bullets being used on set for recreational purposes, specifically in that gun, and Alec knew. Correct me if I'm misinformed, please.
As I always say, context matters. He knew what was in his hands and while he may not have known there was a real bullet he was still careless and someone died as a result of his actions. He should go to jail.
